Chapter 482 Poisoned
Despite her agitation, Yun Shang forced herself to calm down. She arranged the affairs of the mansion
in an orderly manner, writing down all the matters needing attention, and wrote a letter for the butler to
deliver to Ning Qian and Lady Hua Guo.
The mansion''s secret guards were also very efficient. Within four hours, all the stores in the city had
been plundered. But there were too many medicinal herbs, Yun Shang only put them in detoxifying and
anti-toxic pills. She ordered the butler to prepare a carriage to send the rest of the herbs to the Ya n.
She and Qian Yin had decided to ride a horse and hurry to the Ya n as fast as they could.
Yun Shang was also worried about the false news. Or if some enemies knew that they were going to
the Ya n, they will ambush them along the was. So she asked Ning Qian to mobilize all the power in
the state of Xia to assist them secretly on the way.
When everything was ready, it was getting dark. Yun Shang left the city with Qian Yin, followed by forty
secret guards. She galloped on her horse all day and night until she arrived at a small town. Qian Yin
frowned and persuaded Yun Shang in a low voice who was about to set off again, "Your Highness, the
Ya n is still far away. If we don''t have a good rest, we will be exhausted before reaching it. If
someone wants to hurt us, I''m afraid we can''t fight back."
Yun Shang kept silent for a long time. She knew that Qian Yin was right, so she nodded and found an
inn to rest.
In order to move easily to the Ya n, Yun Shang, who was wearing men''s clothes, still caused a stir in
this small town. Unwilling to show her face outside, Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to send all the things to
the rooms.
Qian Yin went downstairs and soon went upstairs. With astonishment on her face, she said, "Your
Highness, guess who I saw just now?"
"Who?" Yun Shang was reading the Ya n''s information carefully. Hearing Qian Yin''s words, she
didn''t raise her head but just asked casually.
Qian Yin came to Yun Shang and said, "I just saw Liu Yinfeng here. Mister Liu''s carriage passed. I
recognized his attendant and his attendant also saw me. Mister Liu... Will we be okay? "
"Liu Yinfeng?" Yun Shang looked up and frowned, "what is he doing here?"
While they were talking, there was a knock on the door. Yun Shang beckoned Qian Yin to open the
door. The secret guard hid behind the door and waited for the door to move. The door opened slowly.
Yun Shang saw the man they were talking standing at the door and looking into the room with curiosity.
As his eyes lit up, he stepped into the room.
Yun Shang beckoned her hidden guards to leave. She looked indifferently at the man who was walking
towards her, and said nothing.
"What a nice coincidence, A Yun? Are we destined to meet here?" Liu Yinfeng smiled, with tenderness
in his eyes.
Yun Shang tapped the table for three times with her right index finger and asked tly, "why is Mister
Liu here?" However, she was seriously considering the situation in her mind. What a coincidence! Isn''t
Liu Yinfeng in the Jin City? She had never heard that Xia Huanyu had sent him for any mission? Yun
Shang kept silent for a while. Just now Qian Yin told her that the town seemed to be called Qi Lan
Town. Yun Shang thought about the map of the state of Xia in her mind. Qi Lan town was kind of a
town in the official roads, and there were many ces he could go.
Liu Yinfeng smiled and said gently, "recently, the Liu n is not peaceful. My adoptive father asked me
to go back to our hometown to worship the ancestors. Where are you going?" Without waiting for Yun
Shang''s reply, Liu Yinfeng thought for a moment before he figured out, "are you going to the Ya n?"
Yun Shang looked at Liu Yinfeng. It was said that the hometown of the Liu n was located in a ce
called Yang Liu Town. If he went back to Yang Liu town, he indeed needed to pass through here.
Yun Shang remained silent for a long time before she said, "Lady Hua Guo had made a wish in the
Han Yun Temple. Now the Buddha have fulfilled it. A few days ago, Lady Hua Guo went to the Han Yun
Temple to repay her wish, and she returned because of something urgent. There are still some things
that I can help her with. Since I have been in the state of Xia for a long time, I seldom go out of the Jin
City, so I also want to have a trip."
Hearing this, Liu Yinfeng smiled faintly and said, "the scenery at the Han Yun Temple is pretty good. It
is summer now. You must get up early to watch the sunrise. You will like it."
Then she continued, "I didn''t want to waste time here. But since you are here, I will stay here tonight.
I''m in the next room. A Yun, you can call me if you need anything. Then I''ll go back to my room... "
Yun Shang nodded and Liu Yinfeng went out.

"Yourdyship, it''s weird." Qian Yin whispered, "is it too coincidental?"
Yun Shang made a gesture of silence and pointed to the next door, reminding Qian Yin to be quiet in
case someone eavesdropping. She frowned and thought it was quite a coincidence. Although she was
fond of Liu Yinfeng and believed that he would not harm her, she had to be careful when it came to Luo
Qingyan.
"We get up early tomorrow and set off early." Yun Shang ordered in a low voice.
The waiter''s voice came again outside the room, "Sir, your order is ready."
Yun Shang beckoned Qian Yin to open the door, take the box, and have the food tested with a silver
needle. Then she asked Qian Yin to eat something with her before getting to bed.
The next morning, it was still dark. Yun Shang asked Qian Yin to get up, get dressed and set off. Then
she mounted his horse and galloped towards the Ya n. After about four hours, they entered a
mountain forest. It was a hot summer day and the sun was scorching. Fortunately, the forest was so
thick that it blocked much sunshine. It was noon when they climbed up the mountain. Yun Shang told
everyone to get off the horse and rest for a while. She took some dried food from the package on the
horse and drank some water from a stream beside. She rested for about an hour or so. When she was
about to leave, Qian Yin suddenly frowned. "Your Highness, my stomach hurts."
Yun Shang frowned. When she was about to ask Qian Yin to find a hidden ce to ease the pain, she
heard several secret guards crying out of abdominal pain. She had a bad feeling, but she also found
that some people were all right. She thought about it and bit her teeth. "I''m afraid the stream is
poisonous."
Yun Shang never thought that the stream in the mountain forest was poisonous, so she was caught off
guard. As she was thinking, she heard the sound of sand, as if someone was stepping on the thick
withered leaves in the forest.
The others heard the sound too. They hurriedly said to Yun Shang, "Your Highness, leave now. We will
stop them."
"Run? No one can escape today! " Someone sneered. Yun Shang frowned and ordered, "don''t start a
fight. Get on the horse and run down the mountain."
